Note to the Starbucks Guy

Dear Starbucks Guy,

Just wanted to say thanks- for the eye contact, the grin, the complimentary frappucino. You coffee making boy/man with scruffy face, tousled hair, shaved head or dreads. Perky or brooding, with your khaki pants that are never pleated and your adorably disheveled black shirt. Thanks for making my drink and looking my way with your kind eyes, or piercing gaze, or sideways glances. Thanks for wearing that haphazardly tied apron with your ruggedly handsome looks, or boyish charm, or sexy nerd style. And hey, thanks for sometimes saying “Have a nice day” with that smirk on your face like it’s some kind of innuendo. And hey, thanks for sometimes saying it genuinely while looking me in the eye as though you really did hope the best for me.
